So you can't use the Internet on your Android phone, right?

Is the issue related to your Wi-Fi or Mobile Internet connection?

When you try to connect your phone to this new Wi-Fi, what happens?
wifi is connected without internet
Could you provide a screenshot of that message?
not sure how to do that
Ok. No worries.
Have you tried to restart the phone and Wi-Fi?
haven't restarted the phone, how do i do that
Ok, turn off your phone by holding the Power button for a few seconds then selecting Power off from the Power Options menu.
Once it's off, turn it back on using the same Power button, please.
Let it load for a few minutes, then try to connect to your Wi-Fi network again
unable to power off.
What exactly is not working, could you specify?
pressing the button holding it for seconds and get a message looks like something is wrong try again
The power button is the Side button on your device, are you sure you are holding the right one?
there are three buttons on the side...i'm holding the third one
Could you provide the exact model of your phone?
